Eric Holloway

Eric Holloway was a 24-year-old Milwaukee resident whose life was cut short in October 2016. Public records compiled by the Milwaukee Homicide Review Commission list Eric among the young people lost to violence that year; while the available public record about his personal life is limited, those listings confirm that he was known to his city and remembered in the formal count of lives taken in 2016.

Because there is no family-published obituary or funeral-home notice available in major public archives linked to his full name and the exact date of passing, many private details about Eric — his family, work, friendships, and daily joys — are not part of the public record we can responsibly repeat. What is certain from reliable sources is that his death was part of a double shooting on Milwaukee’s north side on October 26, 2016, a day that brought grief to those who loved him and alarm to neighbors and the broader community.

Even when public documents are limited, it is important to remember that every name on a memorial list represents a life with relationships, hopes, and a place in others’ memories. This page honors Eric by recording verified facts with restraint and by acknowledging the loss felt by family and community. If you are a family member or close friend and would like to share memories, photos, or corrections to help tell Eric’s fuller story here, those contributions would allow a more personal and complete remembrance of the life he led and the people who loved him.
